Often the only person on stage who was not a Rolling Stone was Ethan Russell and his camera. He accompanied the band and 10 others across America to capture the intimate moments of what started as the Stones' best tour yet, until those historic events at Altamont Speedway changed everything forever.

Let It Bleed depicts the transformation of a band, a country and a generation on the cusp of a new era and for the first time through beautiful images and eye witness accounts that evoke the essence of the ‘behind-the-scenes’ experience.

The exhibition is taking place at Proud Central, 32 John Adam Street, London WC2, from May 23-July 20. For further information visit www.proud.co.uk.
